Wishbind

I've been trying to contact someone out there, if someone can hear me, please answer me and connect to my core.

Won't you accept my call? Won't you enter a new world?

Wishbind is an exploration based 2D platformer collect-a-thon in which you'll have to explore a vast world to gather a special kind of leaf essence while interacting with interesting characters and discovering many secrets throughout the land.

The demo was made in Godot solely by me, except for a couple of amazing songs which were composed by my very good friend Armaggedun, who also gave me counseling with some of the songs I made myself. You should go and give them a follow, they are going to release a full original album very soon!

I hope you can enjoy this little demo, I've poured my heart and soul into it for the last seven months, so it would mean a lot to me if you could try it out and leave your feedback about the experience in the feedback thread in the community down below.

Thank you and have a nice day!

Controls:

The game supports keyboard and controllers, at least the ones tested, and you can change the controls in the options menu of the game, but in case you need them, the default controls (assuming an x-box controller) are:

• WASD/D-pad - Up, left, down, right
• J/A-button - Accept/Jump
• K/B-Button - Cancel/Dash
• L/Y-Button - Interact
• I/X-Button - Pogo
• U/Select-Button - Status menu
• Escape/Start-Button - Pause
• P/Left Trigger - Photo mode

Hardware specs.:

I imagine pretty much anything slightly modern or not that modern can run it, since it's just a simple 2D game with a relatively low resolution. But the lowest spec computer I was able to test the game in was a thinkpad x230 and it ran smoothly, if you have one with lower specs than that and are able to run the game, please let me know to update this information.

Info and future:

The demo covers the first area of the game, and the playtime will vary depending on how much you explore or how difficult you find the challenges, but from my experience, I think a single playthrough will take between one and two hours.

The linux version has been tested in linux mint, I'm not sure if it will work in other distributions, but if it doesn't work in yours, please contact me and I'll see if I can fix it.

 As for the future of the game, I'm planning on launching a crowdfunding campaign around the end of february of 2023, once I've made sure the demo is robust enough, since I wouldn't want to release it as a campaign before testing it more and letting more people play it to see if they find anything.

If you want to support me before the campaign goes live though, consider giving a donation when downloading the game!

You can also find the OST for the demo here!

Discord:

If you want to keep up to date and maybe meet and talk with other people interested in the game, you can join the development discord.

I'll be there and I'll answer any questions whenever possible.
